'The Back Row Students': WATCH Charles Leclerc and Felipe Massa Struggle to 'Pay Attention' During a Meeting

Former Ferrari driver Felipe Massa recently put up a hilarious post on his social media account after he and Charles Leclerc attended an event for Richard Mille as brand ambassadors. The two attended a karting event at Circuit Paul Ricard on Friday to promote the young drivers taking part in it.

While attending the event, the two also attended a meeting when Massa joked with Leclerc to focus on what was being discussed. As seen in the video below, Massa hilariously told Leclerc, “Pay attention to the meeting.”

Soon after he had this interaction with Leclerc, he also uploaded this video on his Tiktok account with a hilarious caption that read, “The Back Row Students Drivers Version with @Charles_Leclerc“.

F1 fans loved Felipe Massa’s interaction with Charles Leclerc

Several F1 fans such as Renee and Sam stated how they love Felipe Massa and the video he uploaded with Charles Leclerc.

Meanwhile, some fans such as Jaune found the interaction between the two extremely funny.

And then there was a Leclerc fan that found it hilarious to see Charles and Massa chat in the ‘classroom’.

Leclerc has had a disastrous start to the 2023 season

Charles Leclerc has had a disastrous start to the 2023 season as barring one podium finish in Azerbaijan, he has struggled to score points at other races. In his other four races, the Monegasque has scored two seventh-place finishes and has also had two DNFs in Bahrain and Australia.

Consequently of these disappointing results, he finds himself seventh in the championship with just 34 points, six points behind Mercedes’ George Russell and a further four points behind Ferrari teammate Carlos Sainz. And when it comes to championship leader Max Verstappen, Leclerc is already a whopping 85 points behind the Dutchman.

As for Felipe Massa, the Brazilian retired from F1 at the end of the 2017 season. During his illustrious 14-year-long career, the 42 clinched 11 victories and finished on the podium on 41 occasions. Moreover, he also came agonizingly close to winning the 2008 world championship, only to lose it to Lewis Hamilton by just a point.
